The Parrot Evolution CK3000 Bluetooth Handsfree Car Solution for $99 Installed via Circuit City .
No one at from Circuit City at the Camp Creek location knew that
installation was included not even the Operation Manager. The cashier
told me that just to bring back my receipt to have the car kit
installed - but that was not true - I spoke to the Operation Mgr which
told me that the cashier did not ring up the bundle correctly. He
signed receipt and gave me his card - I must have taken at least 25 minutes for Circuit City's Operation Manager to give up and tell me
that if there was any problems to call him. I plan to keep my fingers
crossed when I visit Circuit City to get my Parrot Evolution CK3000
Bluetooth Handsfree Car Solution installed.
Want hands-free phone operation and control of your phone's important
features when behind the wheel? Parrot's CK3000 Evolution Bluetooth
cell phone car kit connects to almost any car stereo system so you can
take calls from your Bluetooth phone through your car's speakers.
The Evolution's control panel installs beneath the dashboard, so all
you see is the small dash-mounted keypad and microphone. Once your
car's engine starts, the Evolution connects automatically to your
Bluetooth phone. With the external microphone mounted, just say a name
and the Evolution takes care of the dialing. The CK3000 can work with
up to three Bluetooth phones at one time.

You control your phone's menu functions with the dash-mounted
3-button keypad. From dialing to phonebook to voicemail, the keypad and
voice prompts will guide you easily through phone functions as you keep
your eyes on the road. You can change the volume with the press of a
button.
The voice recognition software remembers up to 150 names from your
phone's address book for dialing (only works with certain phones).
Noise reduction on the external microphone lets you carry on a
conversation in a normal tone — no need to shout, even in heavy
traffic. Most importantly, the Evolution is programmed to mute your
car's radio at the onset of an incoming call, ensuring clear sound over
your car's speakers.
The Parrot CK3000 Evolution is compatible with all Bluetooth cell
phones on the market and installs with most factory and aftermarket car
stereo systems. Some factory systems may require an additional wiring
adapter.
Note: Crutchfield carries cell phone kit harnesses
that allow plug-in connection of Parrot's Bluetooth car kits in a wide
variety of vehicles. The CK3000 Evolution can also be hard-wired to
your car's stereo system. You may have to drill one or more holes into
the dash or remove and remount the dashboard face to make the component
connections completely free from visible wires, but hiding the wires is
not necessary to operate the system.

You are already familiar with the French manufacturer Parrot from
reviews that we have done for some car kit solutions, some of them
perfect, others made with compromises. The Bluetooth car kits are
roughly divided in two types: those which are installed and therefore
are attached to your car’s audio
system and those that are just plugged in the lighter. The model that
we are reviewing here is CK3000 Evolution and it has the apparently
smallest installation kit from the manufacturer. It is connected by a
wire to the car’s stereo and is used for the incoming sound so that
you’re not limited by the kit’s small and poor-quality loudspeakers.
The sales package includes:
- Control Unit + attachment tools
- Universal Radio Mute
- Cables for connecting the Universal Radio Mute to the car cables and to the radio.
- Microphone + attachment clips
- User Manual

Life made easier: Just turn on the engine. Drive. Talk. It s that simple !
The Parrot CK3000 Evolution hands free Bluetooth Car
Kit offers the convenience of voice recognition and outstanding sound
quality by using your car's sound system as a receiver.
It takes less than an hour for your
local installer to mount the Parrot EVOLUTION : electronic box,
microphone, keypad. There are no apparent wires. Once installed, just
turn on the engine and you are immediately connected to your phone.
Even by leaving the mobile phone in his
bag, with his Parrot EVOLUTION, the driver dictates a name and is
immediately connected to his correspondent. The car's speakers transmit
the conversation with perfect quality of sound, regardless of the
driving conditions (traffic, highway…).
